Finocket vs Xero
Lovely books. Now add the front office.
Xero nails cloud bookkeeping. Finocket does the books and the customer pipeline, the compliant outreach and the partner payouts — so you're not stitching three tools together.

| Partner / affiliate commissions + statements | Beta | |
| Australia GST + ABN | Early access — Tax Invoice format, ABN, 10% GST, Peppol e-invoice XML | |

| No-login client portal — statement, estimate accept/decline, your custom fields | Online invoices & quote accept | |
| Double-entry, P&L, Balance Sheet | ||
| One app for books + front office | Xero + add-ons | |

Finocket vs Xero — FAQ
Australia is in early access today, not just on a roadmap: pick Australia under Settings → Business details and you get the Tax Invoice format with your ABN, 10% GST with GST-free lines, a PayID/BSB block, AUD as the default currency, a Peppol (BIS Billing 3.0) e-invoice XML download for any invoice, ABN handling on partner tax details, Spam Act-aware outreach and Privacy Act-aligned export and deletion. BECS direct-debit autopay is still rolling out.
On the books themselves, yes — Finocket keeps real double-entry with a chart of accounts, journal vouchers, opening balances, a general ledger, and Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet that build themselves as you work. Where Xero is still ahead is live bank feeds: Finocket reconciles from a statement or CSV import today and feeds are on the roadmap. Its own edge is the front office — CRM, outreach and partner commissions — unified with those books.
